Snowmen Cause An Outbreak Of Fun


JERUSALEM A Palestinian girl enjoys the sight of snow in Hebron after a rare snowstorm swept the Middle East, blocking roads. Men in Arab robes pelted each other with snowballs in Amman, the Jordanian capital, and children built snowmen in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, which was brought to a virtual standstill.

In Jerusalem most public buildings, including schools, were closed and many people stayed home from work. The Israeli weather service said that up to 20cm (8in) of snow had fallen in Jerusalem and that it would continue today. (AP)
